What I did was just mount directly to the speaker placing the bracket over the keyhole mount. The added movement capabilities were worth it. Being able to aim the speakers where I want them is great. If you just want fixed placement,just use the keyhole. Hope this helps

I no longer have mine and I don't remember if they had them. They weigh a lot though and I couldn't imagine why someone would want to mount these. The built in crossover makes the bottom 15 like a sub and taking it off the floor makes no sense. You can easily add a pole mount by drilling a hole in the bottom of any speakers and adding a metal top hat pole mount.

My old speakers had a screw hole in the back, and the speaker stands had a L-shaped bracket on top of the stand, with a hole in the vertical part of the bracket that the screw went through. What I did for my Onkyo keyhole-only speakers was put a bolt through that hole, and attach it with one nut in front of the bracket and one behind it, then I hung the speaker on the head of the bolt.

Yes, there's one screw hole on the back of the Minx 10 for bracket mount. You should be able to find a screw to fit this hole, but make sure you'll find a right type of bracket in order to attach it firmly to the speaker (I would suggest buying the speakers first, look at the mounting hole/configuration, then find brackets that may work with it). If you want it mounted really close to the wall, I suggest to buy a pair of Cambridge Audio brackets to go with these Minx 10 speakers (http://www.amazon.com/Cambridge-Audio-Minx-Pivoting-Mounts/dp/B004B12J8A/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid;=1369106489&sr;=8-3&keywords;=cambridge+audio+minx).

This was listed in my review (5"). If your looking to 'stand' smaller speakers (4.5 or less), I would suggest the Atlantic SPSCUR47 Speaker Stands. [ASIN: B000289DCG]

Most of stage speakers have a hole on the bottom of it so it can be mounted. If your speaker does not have any, probably you need to buy something like this VideoSecu One Pair of Side Clamping Speaker Mounting Bracket with Tilt and Swivel for Large Surrounding Sound Speakers MS56B 3LH

Just installed with a pair of BS22s this evening. I used some Blu-tak to help hold the speakers to the base, and it seems to be holding just fine. I have them tilted as far downward as they will go, too.

These speaker mounts use the universal screw size not a keyhole. Keyholes are for flush mounting your speaker to the wall which is what I had setup prior to buying these mounts.If you ONLY have keyhole mounting for your speakers then these may not be for you. If you have the universal mount screw hole then this product is for you. You can always use double sided glue tape depending on the weight of your satellite speaker as well.

I was thinking about the Atlantic Satellite 77305018 but I don't know if they will mount correctly with the speakers.

The bottom is clamped on the sides which have a soft, non-marring surface. I was worried too. However, my speakers have not moved a mm in almost 18 months. I did not use screws underneath because I made my speakers and the crossovers were on the bottom. I have not had an issue with them and am quite pleased with the mounts.

Yes, I have the same system, we love it, it's the best all-around system out there and these are the best stands for the money. When you hook the wire into the rear speakers use a 90 degree connector, you can get from radio shack or best buy. just show them the wire you are using and tell them you need a 90 degree connector. again the connector goes on the rear speakers and will be helpful when you install speakers to speaker stands. this will all make since when you go to install rear speakers. enjoy CWN

I was also frustrated that mounting the speakers were not straight forward. I solved the problem by ordering the following mounts from Amazon: VideoSecu 2 Black Universal Satellite Speaker Mounts / Brackets for Walls and Ceilings 1EH. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B002VFVQWS/ref=oh_details_o06_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 Good luck

I mounted both the two lite and three lite upside as pictured. I thought the description said they can be mounted downward. The glass shade is secured with an inner ring, hence no reason to contradict the description.Chance is good that you will be forced to mount upside due to possible interference with a vanity mirror below it and if using the existing fixture mounting hole. I too originally wanted to mount downward for better look.

Normally, all you do with the tall speaker stand bases is run the wires through them up to the speakers, and mount the speakers on top. I see no reason you couldn't mount the speakers somewhere else, but you still have to run the wires to them and you have to mount them somehow. I think there are holes on the speakers that can be used to with mounting screws.

I attempted to quickly determine the threads used in mounts of the mentioned satellites but failed to find that information. So you can best answer, if you are a current owner, by measuring the threads on the base of your speaker. It is more likely those are M8 (metric) than 3/8". Even assuming the threads do fit, you may want to consider a more robust solution. It appears these units, though small, are heavier than I would recommend mounting with only an adapter like this one; however if you used this only to retain the unit on a larger base, that should work. The stress on this adapter might break it or fail to hold your (expensive) satellite properly.

Yes, these can be mounted "upside down" - with the longest section of the mounting plate pointing down. The holes are normal holes, not keyhole. I doubt you were considering "hanging" your speaker from the bracket, which I would not recommend. So yes, the "shelf" part of the bracket can be assembled so that your speaker sits atop the bracket.Assembling and mounting "upside down" would likely reduce the weight capacity some so I would keep this in mind.
